Water clarity was on par with southern Alberta water bodies. Then the Prussian carp were introduced illegally and now the water looks like chocolate milk. So much for fly fishing there. Another good lake gone.

Trout waters are probably at the highest risk. As much as some want to think browns and tigers will prey carp enough to keep things under control they really are not dominant enough predators to do so
Pike waters might be a completely different situation
